demonstrate the porosity of all matter,

gases cannot be forced through glass
by any available mechanical, chemical

Revival meetings have been held for
some time past in the Methodist Church
in sweetzer, Ind, of which the Rev.
George Howard is the pastor It would
seem that the effects have not been as
lasting as they should be. A few nights
ago some Of the young folks created
slight disturbance and the muscular pus-
tor threw them out bodily. James F.
Smith, one Of the disturbers, had the
pastor arrested and fined for assault, and,
in retaliation, the pastor had young
Smiths father arrested for profane swear
ing. Then Mr. Howard was arrested for
allowing the church doors to swing in
instead Of out, as the State law provides,
and the pastor promises to make things
very lively for his prosecutors. The whole
community is intensely interested and has
raken sides for OF against the minister.

Ocean Pilots.

All ocean steamers are commanded by
men who have licenses as pilots for every
harbor along their routes. But there is
another class of pilots who make it a
business to lie outside the harbor for
which they are specially licensed, to
watch for sailing vessels and steamships
coming from a distance, or from foreign
ports.
Such pilot, we must explain to our
inland readers, takes entire charge of out
going and incoming vessels, until they
have passed the dangers surrounding the
coast and harbors of our seas, lakes and
great tidal streams. The Captain of a
ship surrenders its control wholly to the
pilot while he is on board, on pain of for
feiture of the insurance on the vessel IN
case of disaster within that time.
There is no craft, perhaps, in this
country which is subject to more rigid
rules than this. The pilots, for ex-
ample, of Delaware Bay have for CEN
tury been governed by certain inexorable
customs, as binding as laws Their busi-
ness Obliges them TO be sober, intelligent,
keen-sighted, and ready-witted men.
When not in charge of a vessel, they are
on large pilot-boats, which lie outside of
the capes, sometimes sixty miles at sea,
watching for vessels.
The pilots of New York bay and of
Boston harbor 90 even farther cut to sea,
and are sometimes met with from one TO
two hundred miles from the land. They
are cruising about in the track of incom-
ing steamers, and almost always appear
in ample season TO offer their services.
But If no pilot comes, the ship lies out
side the harbor and signals for one. The
corps on the pilot-bOats have regular
turns, and the pilot to whose lot this YES
sci falls is rOwed out to her
He is bound TO answer the signal by
day or by night, in sunshine or in the
fiercest storm. Nothing but the absolute
certainty that the boat cannot live in the
sea running between him and the vessel
will release him from his obligation.
A boy who wishes to learn this busi-
ness must serve an apprenticeship. For
Philadelphia pilots the term of appren-
ticeship is six years, during which time
the young man lives on the pilOt-boats,
studying the channels, s0undings and
dangers. Then, after year and half
Of partial responsibility, he becomes a
pilot. Youths Companion.

SIeep Necessary.

The present epoch is one which the
mind of man seems to turn to the per-
formance of impossibilities, or what have
been regarded as impossibilities. Explor-
ers seek to penetrate the North Pole, and
mountain climbers to scale the highest
peak of the Himalayas. Captain Webb
losses his life in seeking to swim the Nj
agara Rapids. Dr. Tanner goes forty
days, and an Italian fifty days, without
food.
The latest attempt Of doing something
that nobody else has ever done, is that
Of an Italian named RouZani, who essayed
10 90 three weeks without sleeping, but
was speedily convicted of using decep-
ton in making people believe that he got
along without sleep.
Whatever feats of endurance men may
accomplish, they cannot live long with
out sleeping. The victims of the Chi
nese waking torture seldom survive more
than ten days These unfortunate men
are given ali they wish to eat and drink,
but when they close their eyes they are
pierced with spears and awakened. There
is no torture more horrible.
Men sleep under almost all conditions
VI DOul4N anu ulNnAtAA A0MGNGls
Men condemned to death-even those
who fear their fate-generally sleep the
night before their execution. Soldiers
sleep lying upon sharp rocks, and even
while on the march.
No one knows Just what sleep is. The
prevailing theory as to its nature is that
of the Psychologist Preyer, who holds
that refuse matter accumulates In the
nervous centres in such quantity as to
bring about insensibility, which is sleep,
and which continues until the brain has
been relieved of this waste matter by its
absorption into the circulation. By way
Of contrast to the cases Of those who seek
70 do without sleep, OF are often unable
to obtain il. a case is recorded by DR.. Phip-
son in which a young man slept thirty
two hours without waking - Youths

Beauty and the Poet

Mrs Langtry tells that when she first
appeared on the stage Joaquin Miller
wrote poem in her honor, entitled 1.-The
Lily" Shortly after it appeared in print
the author approached Mrs. Langtry at a
large reception, and, after paying his re-
spects, bowed himself backward out Of
the room, and, as he retreated, strewed
rose leaves, which he had crammed in
his trowsers pockets, on the floor. Mr..
Miller at that time was a member of the
Rosetti Circle, Of which Whistler, Burns,
Jones and Swinburne were also members.
At that time Miller appeared in public in
a red flannel shirt and top boots.

sILENcE

Ny soul is voiceless as the frozen moon,
Yet in it slumbers music deep and strong
As all the splendid fire Of sslnlit noon;
Would that some hand might StTiks it
into song.
And yet perchance the touch that thus should
wake
The silent chords to soaring melody,
Might be the hand Of one for whose dear sake
The song would grow until too great to be
So sleep, my heart, serene as yonder star;
Silence shall be sweet Like summer rain,
To hush the lips Of song were better far
Than bursting into symphonies Of pain

BETTER AND Drawer.

Aye, the world is better world to-day
And great good mother this earth Of ours
her white to-morrows are white stairway,
To lead us up to the star-lit flowers
The spiral to-morrows, that one by one
We climb and we climb in the face Of the sun.
Aye, the world is a braver world to-day
For many hero win bear with wrong
Win laugh at wrong, win turn away;
Win whistle il down the wind with song
win slay the wrong with his splendid scorn;
The bravest hero that ever was born.
